Menokreatikkul; Saturday Stitches
The next little project using up the Stylecraft budget yarn I brought with me in The Grey is, yes, another beanie and scarflet. I'm a bit predictable, eh?
This one was destined to be part of Mac1's Christmas gift. I had a notion to create a 'topknot' design. For this, it was another straight knit, but at the crown end of the fabric, rather than knitting the stitches, they are woven.
That is done by weaving the working yarn forward and backwards between each slipped stitch, but every fourth row gets knitted (or purled). Once seamed up, a single crochet chain cord was made, threaded around the base of the woven part, and ruched; this is the result...
You are forgiven for thinking it would make a fine teapot cosy! This was followed up with a simple triangular bandana scarf of the type that is currently rather popular. Now, the recipient models the articles...
Menoturals; Harvest
Sharing some tasty for Nature Friday with the LLB gang! The fruit from the tree lands on the table at Mac1's place. The apple tree in her garden is thought to be close to 200 years old!!! We believe it to be a Thorle Pippin. I take my sister's word for it that it is sweet and scrumptious... Apples are one of the foods I cannot eat, as my body reacts to the acidity. Love looking at them, though!
Can you believe that next week it will be Final Friday for October? This year is truly thundering through... anyway, this is your reminder to have a post to share that has something just a little bit extra special about it...
